Dolphins release James Blackman, add Parry Nickerson

The Miami Dolphins announced the signing of free agent cornerback Parry Nickerson on Monday, providing more depth to a position that has already seen All-Pro Jalen Ramsey injured. Nickerson joins Miami after spending two years with the Minnesota Vikings. The team waived quarterback James Blackman in a corresponding roster move.

Nickerson first entered the NFL as a 2018 sixth-round draft choice out of Tulane by the New York Jets. He appeared in 16 games as a rookie before being traded the next summer to the Seattle Seahawks. He began 2019 on the Seattle practice squad before being released during the season.
